The water inlet is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It serves as the water inlet valve, responsible for regulating the flow of water into the dishwasher during cycles. 

Symptoms of a bad water inlet include:

• Inability to fill with water or intermittent filling 
• Leaks or water spray from the inlet area
• Odd sounds like sputtering or crackling from the valve
• Soap residue or film left after cycles from insufficient rinsing

Causes of a bad inlet water valve can include mineral buildup from hard water, stuck or clogged waterways, or mechanical failure of sealing components. Over time and use, inlet valves can degrade leading to improper water distribution. 

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and select Kenmore models.
